Chapter 8 Disk Array

Purpose
Disk array is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive
components into a single logical unit. An array stores data over multiple HDDs to provide enough
redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the drives in one of
several ways called "RAID levels," depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required.

Purpose
The device supports a software-based disk array. You can enable the RAID function as required. Two ways
are available for creating an array: one-touch configuration and manual configuration. The following flow
